Assuming that the "string" class is properly defined in namespace "std", is it 
legal to do the following:

class xyz : public std::string {
}

I am trying to do this with Visual C++ v4.0 and it is giving me an INTERNAL 
COMPILER ERROR.  I thought that this was legal syntax, but am not certain.
Thanks in advance for your help.
